Hardware and mesh radio for ATAK
We supply smartphones and tablets with ATAK set up, matched to your mission and budget. We also provide mesh radio, accessories and complete kits in a case.
ATAK set up Preinstalled, configured and, if you wish, connected to your TAK Server.
GrapheneOS or LineageOS Optionally instead of the preinstalled Android, depending on the model.
Existing devices If they are suitable, we also set up the smartphones and tablets you already have.
Accessories Mounts, bags, cables and charging solutions.
Smartphones and tablets
We don’t sell a fixed range of models. For each project, we pick devices from three classes to match your requirements and budget. Prices on request, depending on quantity and setup.
Rugged
Built for tough conditions
Rugged smartphones and tablets with large batteries that withstand dust, water and drops. We use tablets from Ulefone or the Doogee S200, for example.
Professional
Performance in a slim housing
High-end standard devices, slimmer than rugged models. Typical choices are Google Pixel, the Samsung Galaxy XCover7 Pro with its replaceable battery, or tablets from Samsung and Lenovo.
Enterprise
For high security requirements
Hardened special-purpose devices for organizations with particularly high security requirements, such as the Samsung Galaxy S23 Tactical Edition and the Bittium Tough Mobile.
Case solutions
Complete solutions in a case
We build complete kits into Peli cases, configured to your requirements. We have already built several of these cases.
Smartphones and tablet
For example four smartphones and a tablet, with ATAK ready to use.
Starlink
Satellite internet where there is no mobile network.
Drone
For an aerial view in your operational picture.
Radios
Radios from different manufacturers, depending on the mission.
Self-sufficient power
With a solar panel and a power station (e.g. EcoFlow), the case runs without mains power.
Your requirements
We decide together with you what goes into the case.
We clarify in the initial consultation whether a case makes sense for you. Ask about a case solution
Mesh radio and mobile server
For operations without a mobile network: radios that exchange positions and messages directly, and a TAK Server you carry in a case. We only use EU-compliant radios with CE marking on 868 MHz.

Frequently asked questions
Didn’t find your question? Call or write to us.
Can we use our existing smartphones?
Often, yes. ATAK runs on current Android smartphones and tablets, iTAK on iPhone and iPad. We also set up devices you already own. For long deployments outdoors, rugged devices with a large battery are the better choice.
What do GrapheneOS and LineageOS offer?
Both are Android variants that work without Google services. GrapheneOS is designed for security and runs on Google Pixel devices. LineageOS is available for many other models.
Are we allowed to operate mesh radios in the EU?
Yes, with devices for the European 868 MHz band that carry CE marking. You don’t need to apply for a frequency, but the devices may only transmit for part of the time. You can read more in our mesh radio comparison.
How much do the devices cost?
That depends on model, quantity and setup. You receive a written quote that lists each device as a separate item.
